I was thinking, that I, like most of you spend a lot of time and energy collecting badges. I do it because i am a completist, and that is its own curse/reward.

But I would love to have an in game item accolade as a reward for 700 badges. Something simple with little to no effect, that is still cool. Like a ceremonial sword (1 use per 45 min, minimal damage) Or a specific costume piece that lets you display all 700 badges on your chest (not to be confused with the existing military badges). Or possibly a base item that is a plaque with the badges mounted on them.

I dont want anything extravagant, or that other non badgers will envy to much. Just a cool nod to the badgers.


Also I vote that we call the accolade "The Markus Imperative"

Try #97358 Shift Awesome!

It has gotten some pretty good reviews. There may be some spelling mistakes but I am working my way through them.

Cheers!

just wanted to say you guys are great and this thread is working very well.

I am at 70 votes, 30 more and Ill get my next badge. Thank you all so much. I have a huge list, and have been doing 3-8 each night, if i haven't rated yours already i will soon.

My arc is # 97358 Shift Awesome!

Thanks again!

I would love a "Rikti" class to be added to the game.
So that we could play the few Rkti who are "good" It can come with special costume pieces. I dont think new power sets are necessary...but that would also be great.

What do you think?

I have hit everyone who tried mine. If I missed anyone pls let me know and I will get them asap

Mine is 97358 leave your number and I will get you back

You guys are awesome, i hope this takes off. I have made a list of everyone's arc to do this weekend.

Thanks so much!

Didnt I tell ya this would happen? hehe

Here it goes, round and round, where it stops...it wont till it gets locked like 95% of the other threads that have to do with farming.


I warned ya

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah but I have some time to kill, I will drop it after a few pages.
Fundamentally not a single person has ever given me a good reason why it is OK for a few players to dictate to other players how they should and should not play.

[/ QUOTE ]

Phrase that as the Devs and the GMs.
They are the ones who wrote the release notes, and they are the ones pulling arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Once again, if a dev told me it was wrong I would be fine with that (it's there game after all), but I am not OK with being punished for something when there is no rule in existence that says I should be punished. I prefer that they allow farming. But I am OK with it if they don't. I just want them to say something official to put an end to all this.
See my problem?

Note: GMs are not even close to Devs, they often make mistakes and do things counter to the existing rules. Or take it upon themselves to make a ruling. IMO what they do does not indicate what is a rule and what is not. Even if it was though, simply banning my AE mission without telling me specifically why, doesn't exactly tell me what is and is not legal does it?

because generally, a filler or anchor is there simply to pad your mission and then drop team. it slows down my looking for a real team and I get no benefit out of it. You having more spawns to kill does not give me a thing.

. Why should I be any less selfish than you who wants a team of 8-man spawns, and want a team where I get exp instead of being there just so only you benefit?

And trust me. Not all farmers are arrogant about it, but at least some farmers seem to think its some sort of insult to their playstyle if you dare consider completing the save television arc instead of farming fake nems. Not all. But a few. and they're infinitely louder than the rest.

[/ QUOTE ]


Fine but we are clear about what we want, you don't have to help us by filling you can choose not to. It does not slow you down any more than someone asking you to join a TF when you don't want to.

And again, people are rude in every aspect of the game, you can't use that as an excuse to bann one aspect without banning them all.

Okay...

I would bet I can go to any "Story" Arc out there and find something in it I find offensive. (Either through language used, morallity, Ethically, or from a standpoint of Religion).

People have come on this Forum targeting Farms, and bragging that they are going to report them, and get them Banned.

I'll target your "Story" Arcs, if I condsider the least little thing offensive in the least way, you will be Reported for Content.

I'm just a casual Farmer who hasn't created a Farm Mission in AE. But I'm sick of these people trying to tell other people how they should play the game they pay their own hard earned money for.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have nothing against farmers. heck. I've farmed my new widow to 30 this week just to experiment with her build.

I have something against farmers who either

1: pretend as though I'm a complete moron for not levelling my characters to 50 at warp speed and then doing moar farms and nothing else.

2: are invasive about it by sending me tells when I have "not interested in farming" or similar things in my search comment begging me to join their team, or who otherwise seem to think me being on a lvl 2 with my looking for team flag up means I want to anchor for them.

[/ QUOTE ]
Fair enough, but there are just as many idiots who behave that way in teams as there are in farms.
You wouldn't say "nobody should be alowed to team" for those reasons So you can't site them as reasons for banning farming.

If they make a set rule that pleases one group, the other most likely will not be happy.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree but.....(and I know I am preaching to the quire here)

Farmers are not telling non-farmers how to play, they want to live and let live. Where as non-famers are saying do it our way or else. That doesn't seem right to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

..Uh.

Right. You go on believeing that.

Its not like almost every non-farmer has ever gotten the following tell or something similar

"U want to farm?"

"No thanks, I don't like farming"

"Lol y? dont u like having fun? stupid n00b"

[/ QUOTE ]I think you exaggerate
Yes we ask if you'd like to join us but I have never ever met a farmer who ridiculed others for it. It simply would not be beneficial to our cause, we want to encourage others to be willing to help fill out our missions, treating them poorly just wouldn't be practical. We are polite in order to breed good will.

I would also like to point out that asking for a filler is no different than asking for a team, so I don not see how it can be seen as harmful to your game play

[ QUOTE ]
The fact that it got pulled should be an indication to you that the GMs thought it was outside of what is acceptable.

[/ QUOTE ]

All it tells me is that someone complained about it and a GM reacted and took it away. It does not tell me if the GM was right in taking that action. IMO he was not. As there is no current rule that says I cannot make a farm mission. That is really the point I am trying to make here.

Na, I didnt bark at him...heh thats funny. I was just direct at the truth is all. Save him a huge headache. I was being mercyfull and didnt want yet another flame fest in his thread like all the other farm threads.

People ask a simple question on these forums and they dont ever get a strait answer most of the time cause of so many opinions on matters. People tend to think their opinions are fact when it's far from the case.

There are way to many opinions of what farming is. To me it's just running somethingover and over, which it is.

What people need to do is deciede for themselves what it is and go with their conscience.

[/ QUOTE ]

The only problem with that is that I spent 2 hours making an awesome and fun AE mission to play with my friends, it was clearly marked as a farm, so as not to "trick" anyone. We just wanted to play it and have a good time, but with no warning it was baned.
So I did something that as far as I can tell is within the known rules and was smacked for it. The mission did not effect anyone but me and my friends, so I see no reason why it should have been removed.
If there was reason, I want to hear it from someone in charge.

Edit:
I would like to point out that I don't care if farming is legal or not, I dont see why they would bann it as I think it is fun, but if the devs decide that farming is not something they want in there game, that is up to them. I just want to know what the rule is so I can adapt my play accordingly.

well it was worth a try.

Because I am not interested in debating it I just want an direct answer
Whiteseeker, that is why I want a dev to publicly state what the rule is. I don't want to argue about it, I just want to know where I stand with the devs, as I don't care about what other players think.

This is not a rant thread, I would really like some dev answers.
Is farming OK to do or not?

I have played almost every single day since launch and I love farming. I love getting with a group of like minded friends and farming, I love pushing my characters to the limit of what they can do and seeing a bunch of orange numbers I love testing new characters at lv 50 and seeing what they are capable of.
I do not understand why people are against farming. It does not effect anyone in a negative way. It restocks the market, and most often it is the farmers who come up with new and interesting builds and power combinations.

The argument that if there was no farming there would be more straight players is ridiculous, because the farmers would just quit, that does not make more team players, just less players over all to support the game.

So there is my 2 cents. I would love to have the devs set an actual rule so we can really know where we stand.

I agree.

I understand that some badges are meant to be difficult. But a fair amount of the new badges are a little much.

The big problem IMO is that Devs are trying to make badges taht are difficult to achieve so that we have something to strive for. I dont think they realize that just having the badges is enough to keep us logging in. They don't have to be impossible.

The few time where I have gotten "all the badges" before the launch of new ones, I was never board or wishing for more badges, I was just basking in the stuff I collected. If anything I played and teamed more just so others could see them. Now I seem to only log in my main to "work" at getting badges.

Somehow it all seems less fun.

Make mission architect missions available on SG mission computers. and large SG "raid" teleporters can be used to enter the missions.

I think this would be a simple way to add a practical layer to bases, considering how popular MA is.

No One Has Seen a Real Ninja (Perception Challenge) #1110

The real challenge is seeing through powersets that have the most Stealth and -Perception. Oh, and Ninjitsu is still bugged in that it gets the crit from hide for every attack, even when not hidden. It's only 3 bosses, but they're lts. on lowest difficulty level. Comments have ranged from being "totally impossible" to 'it wasn't a challenge, it was easy."

[/ QUOTE ]awesome Ill give that a look!

Has anyone else made this kind of "test your mettle" mission? I made one called "the danger room" which when set on the hardest difficulty setting is pretty rough. But I would love to see what others have come up with.

Also has anyone heard if turrets will be coming back? I think it would be cool to make an X-man style danger room, where the ambushes are more and more turrets.
